What Is Likely to Be Popular in
Mems Wear This Season.
The anticipations of brisk fall trade
have induced the retail clothierS and
merchant tailOrs to lay in more than
ordinarily large stock of goods. The
display of ready-made suits includes a
variety of patterns and textures, while
the prices exhibited in the tailoring es-
Establishments represent all grades of
Suitings, from the rough and ready
homeSpunS to the finest lines of broad
cloth.
The fall and winter fashions i'm men'S
wear will differ from those of last year
i'll respect of material only. AS far as
texture is concerned, Scotch goods are
likely to be the most popular. Of these,
the colorS are, as rule, striking, if not
absolutely loud" The growing ten
dency of young men is for rough, elias
tic material, and the Scotch cheviots
meet these requirements precisely.
The style of coat will be generally the
sack and fOur-buttOn getaway. The
Prince Albert still continues to be popu-
lar for dress or business suits, while the
Chesterfield appears to. be almost
equally so. The vests will be tritie
lower in the breast, while the trousers
will be cut straight and be much wider
than last season.
The OvercOat will. as rule. be of ma
terial light in texture and in color.
OvercOats will be cut straight and be
shorter than usual, so much so, in fact,
that the Prince Albert of last year to be
worn underneath them must undergo
the process of shortening. The winter
overcoatS will be of rough material
and of soft curly texture. They will
be heavily tur-lined, and for those who
can afford to pay some $500 for an over
coat the lining inside and the trimming
will be of seal. The cape coat, too, is
likely to be much worn. 1t will be cut
long and in such manner as to conform
to the figure. The patterns will, as
rule, be broad checks, of which very
large variety are already displayed.
The hat will entirely depend upon the
suit worn. The Derby or any soft hat
must be worn with sack suit while the
silk hat is only allowable with a frock
coat or fOur-button cutaway.
The growing tendency of the fashion,
able young men of the city is for goods
OF foreign manufacture, especially Eng
lish. They prefer CoOksy OF Chris
tie London-made hat to anything turned
out i'll this country, and in Suitings the
London made is invariably given the
preference. In neckwear and in point
OF fact, i'll every description of gentle
mems furnishing this is equally the case
and lis English, quite English, YOU
KNOW seems to be the general craze.
In ties French articles, from their
neatneSS of design and striking colors,
are the most popular. but in everything
else the Anglo mania is as complete as
1t is widespread and increasing.
A prominent merchant says that this
pro-English craze among the young men
of the period involved the necessity of
expanding in London money that should
more properly be spent at home. Even
the Shoes" he said, ''must be English
now, and in spite of the fact that we in
America turn out infinitely better made,
better finished and 'nobbier' clothing
than they do in England, our material
has not chance if it is exhibited as
home manufacture. The consequence
is that In some cases ST will not SayJin
how many caSeS-American goods are
labeled EngliSh-made in order to effect
sale. Some of the clothing palmed off
on the fashionable snob as English
made was never out of the country, and
it is so much the better for the Wearer
that it is not" -

purposes.
Although attempts are made to sell
them, silk handkerchiefS have almost
disappeared from the American list of
fashionable requisites.

Striped neckwear is said to be the

talks OF MP trousers to require none at
